My Planeswar

317 Magician 15
"This is Colonel Wilson's matter, why are we involved..." someone in the crowd said.

"Very well, then let me answer this question." The magician replied. "Because Colonel Wilson is your commander, and you all obey his orders. In this case, you also share his responsibility. This is my answer. It doesn't matter if you protest or accept it, anyway, my answer remains the same. I believe that you all know how to use a computer. There is a computer here. I have put the relevant information of my account on the computer desktop. The computer network is complete. I will give you 15 minutes, and your own savings are fine. Whether it is borrowing or cheating, I have to have 10 billion in compensation in my account. If this number cannot be reached...the consequences are very clear as I just said. Okay, I will say thank you after the end Cooperate, or say something," the magician let out a grim grunt. "Thank you for your non-cooperation."

Regardless of the situation of the officers and soldiers of the Maple Leaf Country in the video, people in the auditorium of the United States have already started discussions.

"What's going on here?" More than one person asked this question.On one side are hundreds of young and strong adult men who have received military training, and on the other side there are only a few people.In contrast to this kind of strength, even if these people are armed with guns, it is useless.Not to mention that neither the magician nor his entourage apparently carried guns.

But the end result was that the officers and soldiers retreated uncontrollably and squeezed into each other.This is obviously not a normal reaction.No matter what kind of aura a magician has, he can't do this by himself.

"They are afraid, in fear. That is to say, magicians obviously have a kind of intimidating...supernatural ability to change human thinking and consciousness." An expert analyzed.

The commissioner nodded yes.Magicians (if the magician and Mr. Martin are one person) have shown similar mind-altering, warping human consciousness abilities before.But last time he used it on one person, this time it was used by many people.

But his words were more surprising than the supernatural abilities he displayed.Because in theory, magicians should not be short of money.Not to mention kidnapping and extortion for money... In fact, this practice is really confusing.Will he really keep his promise?Or make other choices?

As long as you have studied crowd psychology, you know that it is impossible to raise money this way.Let alone whether these officers and soldiers can make up a huge sum of 10 billion knives together, even if they can, they will not take it out.This is not to say that they are particularly stupid, wanting money rather than life, but the objective laws of human psychology.To put it bluntly, in this situation, humans will do this kind of thing.This is similar to the prisoner's dilemma, everyone will choose the optimal solution, but the final result leads to the overall worst solution.

And in the video just now... the magician brought a few followers.

It is now certain that the magician is not alone.But I don't know if it's the quality of the camera or some other reason, but I can't see what his followers look like.It can only be said that there seems to be an inexplicable blur on them, like a mosaic, so that you can't distinguish them carefully.This is obviously a supernatural ability as well.

As the scholars predicted, although there were computers there, no one was transferring money.Instead, people are trying to get help online.

Actually this is not difficult.Because in addition to computers, many of them have communication tools such as mobile phones.These tools have not been confiscated, let alone interfered with, and can be used normally.

About 15 minutes later, the door was opened again.Supernatural terror once again filled the hearts of the people.You can see that you can't resist the feeling of dread... The magician is empty-handed despite the seemingly innocuous situation in front of him.It's like people standing in front of a cliff.Even though anyone is well aware that as long as you don't actively jump off the cliff it won't do you any harm.But your legs will still be shaking uncontrollably.This has nothing to do with your IQ or rationality.For the vast majority of human beings in this world, standing in front of a cliff is a double challenge both psychologically and physically.

This is the original instinctive power produced by human evolution, engraved in the genes, hidden in the deepest part of the soul, ordinary people have no way to resist this impulse.Even soldiers with military training are no exception.

So even though the magician looks harmless, your rationality can clearly explain that he is harmless.But your uncontrolled body and mind are still suppressed, and you can't help but want to stay away from him.He (they) will make your body stiff, numb your hands and feet, make your mind go blank, and make you subconsciously and uncontrollably withdraw from him.

"Oh, I forgot one thing," said the magician. "Is there anyone here who can drive a cement truck?"

The temporary construction of fortifications by the army will require quick-drying cement, which is a necessary material and equipment for military bases.

The audience was silent, no one knew what this sentence meant.

"I need someone to help me drive the cement truck," said the magician. "Of course in return, I won't hurt him."

The magician looked around the audience, but because it was too abrupt, no one made a sound.But a few seconds later, someone raised his hand.

"Captain Lewis?" Someone in the crowd exclaimed.Almost no one believed that it was an officer who came forward.Many people know that it was this officer who directed the first attack on the magician-although it was defeated.

The magician waved his hand, beckoning him to come out.Lewis was pale and stiff, but finally he squeezed his way through the crowd and came to the magician.

"Very good, sir, you have obtained this position." The magician calmly stared at the others around him.This situation is like the doomsday trial, everyone is huddled in the corner because of fear and panic, waiting for the final verdict.It's a pity that there is only darkness in the eyes of the magician, and there is nothing else in it, as barren and desolate as the deepest part of the ocean.His voice was as cold as if it had been dug out of a thousand-year glacier.

"As for the rest of the gentlemen, I don't think I see the $10 billion in my account. Looks like I'll have to get it myself."

After saying this, a group of monsters rushed out from behind him.

Even if it was a video, everyone in the conference room screamed.These monsters have a humanoid body, but with thick, somewhat unnatural limbs, and a pair of tusks that seem unlikely to have evolved naturally.They grabbed at least a dozen soldiers without resistance and dragged them out.

Controlled by supernatural fear, the human side is completely powerless to resist.Just like that, he was dragged out alive.

"What are these things?" the Commissioner asked the people around him.Next to the main screen is the small screen.A specific picture has been captured on the small screen, and the appearance of the monster is enlarged so that people can clearly see the details of this kind of thing.

No one has ever seen such a creature.Rather than saying that they are animals that evolved naturally, it is better to say that they were created in some kind of biochemical experiment.The thing seemed so unnatural in every way.

"They have bare skin and no hair scales... This shows that this creature should be aquatic. But their claws and body structure are obviously suitable for activities on land. It is completely abnormal!"

"Yes, but I have read some ancient classics..." someone said. "It looks like a legendary ghoul!"

"Ghoul? Could it be... from that fantasy story..."

"Ghouls are monsters derived from ancient legends in West Asia. Their original form is a kind of transformed demon that lives in the desert and can transform into animals, especially hyenas that turn into carrion. They will Looting tombs, feeding on the flesh and blood of the dead or young children, and luring travelers to the desert wasteland to kill and devour them. But this kind of thing obviously does not completely match the legend, it is more like..." He thought Express, but found that there is no suitable language to express. "A beast," he said at last.

"Summon creatures!" someone said.

The battle remnants left by the magician before are very strange.The priests of the church and several other wizards (including Redstone) believe that it is a summoned demon.But the word "demon" actually has a lot of meanings.For example, seeing these things right now, calling them "demons" is reluctant, but it is not impossible.

"Do you want to ask that Indian wizard?" The commissioner asked seemingly casually.

The single most powerful card in their hand right now is redstone.Although as a white man, he has a heartfelt disgust and contempt for the Indians, but he has to admit that this wizard is one of their important trump cards.He's also the only person with supernatural abilities that they can be sure of right now.

"We can take a screenshot and show him to see if we can get an opinion from him."

"Very well, let's arrange someone to do it as soon as possible."

"What about the church? Maybe you can ask them for advice."

"No need for now, the church... I'm afraid there are more secrets hidden than we expected." The commissioner pondered for a moment. "From the letters of our venerable Pius III, perhaps everything was intentional. Perhaps the clergy of the church ... killed the real magicians, but instead allowed the liars to flourish. This finally led to the current situation. In Redstone Before, a lot of people didn't believe in supernatural powers at all and saw it as a hoax. If that was the tradition of the church, they wouldn't work with us unless we got a lot of leverage."

However, after the appearance of redstone, at least the problem of "whether there is" supernatural ability was solved.Now there is no controversy in this regard.

The video is still playing, but everyone doesn't pay much attention to this kind of scene.Someone asked to fast forward the video.They want to see a magician again or something novel.

This is normal, because this video will inevitably be watched repeatedly in the future.In this case, it is a natural requirement to fast forward and see what the result is like.

Unfortunately, there are not many videos here.It may be the controller's fault.Probably he controlled the camera to turn his head slightly in order to get a better perspective, and the result was that the rotation of the camera attracted the attention of that monster.A monster climbed up at a very fast speed, with a claw stretched out... The last picture of the entire video is that huge claw.

"I want to know how the final situation is at the base." The commissioner got up and asked the person in charge of the scene.The person in charge is a soldier with the rank of major, and should be that kind of technical officer.How should I put it, although he is wearing a military uniform and epaulettes, he looks more like a programmer.

"Our reinforcements arrived there in the morning of the next day." The person in charge spoke a bit irrelevantly. "Go by helicopter."

"Then what? They will find something after all, right? Didn't they take videos or photos?" The commissioner was obviously very dissatisfied with this answer.

"Yes, sir. They have video cameras, but I don't advise you to watch them."

"I think I have that authority," replied the Commissioner.He does have this authority, in fact he should have authority over all things related to supernatural abilities.Because these things are actually his responsibility.

"I don't think there is a problem with your authority," said the person in charge. "I think you might have to prepare for psychological counseling. The scene was very shocking, and ordinary soldiers couldn't bear it. These people you brought in... I don't think they are the kind of people who can withstand this kind of scene. "

The commissioner's face changed, "Then at least you can tell me what's going on, right?"

"The entire base is dead," the chief replied. "All the heads were chopped off and piled up like a skeleton... or something called Jingguan. It was poured and glued with quick-drying cement, and finally formed a real platform. People can even stand on it. Kind of. Colonel Wilson was at the top. More than half of our first soldiers needed counseling."

Although it was only said in the simplest and most simple words, it also made the commissioner feel a chill.

"That...are there any survivors?"

"Yes, there is only one. The one seen in the video. The magician kept his promise and didn't kill him, but when our reinforcements arrived, he was already insane. The mental stimulation was too great...the kind that went completely crazy .Has been completely unable to communicate normally. The psychiatrist said there is not even a % chance of the poor guy recovering. Ask him questions and he will not respond correctly. His mouth is full of things about the end of the world, the four horsemen of the apocalypse Final Judgment or something."

"Their heads were piled up into a platform... what about their bodies?"

"It was torn into indescribable pieces," said the person in charge. "There are a lot of gnawing and tearing marks on the wreckage, obviously it was... was... eaten." It was obvious that it took a lot of effort for him to say this. "By the way, it's not over yet."

"What? It's not over yet?" The commissioner was stunned.

"Before he left, he told General William of Maple Leaf Country. He didn't get the 10 billion dollars in compensation, so General William had to shoulder the rest of the compensation. He will come to him sooner or later. People in Maple Leaf Country must Bear the indemnity, otherwise he will start from General William and kill one by one until the indemnity is raised."

Your first reaction when you hear this is that this guy is crazy, but immediately you can feel the shudder.
